Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: A 40-year-old woman(40) from Jinsi Tower, Khas Gate in the city fell prey to a cyber con and lost her life's savings of Rs35lakh in just over a fortnight. Jinsi police inspector Shivaji Budhwant said an FIR was registered under relevant sections of the Information and Technology Act. Police said the woman was duped after she clicked on an online advertisement that claimed to offer expert guidance in equity trading. The woman, in her complaint, said she was lured into joining a WhatsApp group after responding to the advertisement on July 4. She was then asked to download a mobile application. At first, she would invest in small amounts. When fake visuals showed initial profits, she transferred Rs5 lakh, Rs8 lakh and Rs14 lakh in separate installments. On trying to withdraw her earnings she was asked to pay a 15% service fee and then a 20% brokerage charge, both of which she paid without receiving any returns. Then she filed a complaint and approached the police.
